Game Addiction? I disagree!

 Sure the Infographic is interesting and some of the facts might be truth (click here to see the Infographic). Yes some addiction could ruining both boys and girls but it is also up to what kind of game you interested in and how much you spend time on game.

 Here are the list of the problems:

  • First is how 8-18 year old spent their time more on 'Playing video game' than 'Reading books, magazines and newspapers for pleasure'. I object since kids actually read alot from the game too, video game is also a novel that expressed itself by the characters' speech and the dialogue storyline. Who know? Maybe some may have better storyline than most of books.
  • Sure girls like puzzle games and boy like more violence games but sometime things might be opposite, there are some girls in YouTube actually play Yakuza 4 which is a fighting but emotional too game which also a great game for me. While boy can also play puzzle game like Portal 2 it's a 5 stars with new characters and some development.
  • They said that boys will fall classes in school if addicted to game, but my cousin played game and he got all A in classes since he is in English system school so homework is not very important. And from what I heard game actually help develop your brain since you have to be a fast thinker.
  • Last one, they said that game addiction equal to drug addiction? Oh come on people games are not only about senseless violent, some game are about adventure and some can even teach a life lesson like Metal Gear Solid and Okami, and some with amazing storyline as To The Moon the tearjerker game. Video game are not that bad.
Question: If you think video game are bad influence on children then why can't violence movies or drama influence people too? Video game is famous kids while drama and movies are popular with both kids and adult so you have more victim than only the population of kids.
